Dates

Proposed Schedule

Location

The event will be held at the Red Hat Toronto Office, 2323 Yonge St., Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario.

Goals

To review the Project Plan and decide its feasibility

To assess Hudson as a viable tool for managing builds; to possibly consider alternatives, though a bird in the hard...

To close numerous open Athena bugs

To add a third build to the list of viable builds that Athena can handle (currently GEF and Linux Tools)

To improve the current situation for building locally; to explore building on platforms other than Linux, including building within Eclipse itself (pure Ant, without shell support)

As with the previous Build Workshop, the real goal is to get some concrete work done. That may include building another Tools project, such as VE (which hasn't had formal releases in years due to a shortage of devs (but no shortage of community interest)).

How to register

Like its predecessors, this will be an informal event, but we'd like to know who's interested in attending. Please sign below with Name & Role and/or Responsibility, and how you can attend.

[PHP] refactor build UI to be less project-with-one-or-more-components oriented

[PHP, mysql?] refactor web UI to use fewer project/component/path variables: instead of "/gef", "gef", and "/tools/gef" (contrast with "/modeling/emf", "cdo", "/modeling/emf/cdo"), use an object which can be queried for all the various required string forms, labels, names & paths. Use Foundation/Portal project definition as key ("modeling.emf.cdo" or "tools.gef")?

Explore setting up modeling.eclipse.org as a Hudson build slave in order to give more bandwidth for running builds

Results

We intend come away with a working system that can be community tested and blogger approved [2].
